 * 2.0.next in progress
   * The documentation continues to be expanded and clarified in response to feedback!
+  * Fix #322 by rewriting/simplifying `WHERE`/`HAVING` merge logic.
   * Fix #310 by adding support for `FILTER`, `WITHIN GROUP`, and `ORDER BY` (as an expression), from [nilenso/honeysql-postgres](https://github.com/nilenso/honeysql-postgres) 0.4.112. These are [Special Syntax](doc/special-syntax.md) and there are also helpers for `filter` and `within-group` -- so **be careful about referring in all of `honey.sql.helpers`** since it will now shadow `clojure.core/filter` (it already shadows `for`, `group-by`, `into`, `partition-by`, `set`, and `update`).
   * Fix #308 by supporting join clauses in `join-by` (and correcting the helper docstring).
